I'm sure someone will inevitably suggest a better method, but the following would do the trick: 1) Create UID with UIDUtil.createUID() 2) Strip '-' symbols / Strip vowels 3) Truncate to 12 characters (if there weren't enough after stripping vowels, just repeat steps 1 and 2 and append to current string and truncate again) 4) reintroduce '-' where needed in pattern you indicated.
